Cherries? Yay! In a jar? Boo!

I am in possession of a presently useless 24 oz jar of dark morello cherries in light syrup from Trader Joe's. I love cherries, however, when they're in a jar and floating around in some sort of sugar water, they confound me. I want to make something for the people I work with since they so kindly offered me what has the potential to become a very messy paperweight. Does anyone have a decent recipe for these cherries? I'm thinking a chocolate cake or a rice pudding, perhaps? Oh and I should mention, I'm trying to stay away from pies. Bad pie experience, don't ask.
